Yale University School of Medicine, Department of Emergency Medicine
EMS MEDICAL DIRECTOR The Department of Emergency Medicine at the Yale University School of Medicine is currently seeking an EMS Medical Director to oversee the 12-town, 20-agency EMS system serving the greater New Haven area through the New Haven Sponsor Hospital Program (NHSHP). Approximately 200 paramedics and 500 EMTBasics receive medical oversight through NHSHP, which is a joint operation of Yale-New Haven Hospital and the Hospital of St. Raphael. The EMS Medical Director will be appointed to the Department of Emergency Medicine academic faculty, and will work clinically in the Yale-New Haven Hospital ED (an urban, Level I trauma center with approximately 77,000 visits per year) and the Yale-New Haven Shoreline Medical Center ED (a suburban, freestanding ED with approximately 25,000 visits per year). The EMS Medical Director will join a well-established EMS leadership team with a commitment to continuous quality improvement, providing efficient care, and improving patient and provider satisfaction. The EMS Medical Director will serve on the New Haven SHARP Team (the only licensed physician response team in CT), and will have expectations of academic productivity in the Section of EMS, as well as teaching obligations in the Section’s EMS fellowship program, which will seek accreditation through ACGME as this process becomes available, and at NHSHP, which runs the largest paramedic training program in the state. Candidates must be emergency medicine trained and board certified; and EMS fellowship training is preferred. A field provider background is preferred due to the intense operational nature of the position. The successful candidate must demonstrate excellence in clinical, interpersonal, and administrative skills.
